Belarus

From 22 - 25 March 2024, the Berlin Kunsthaus ACUD was dedicated to Belarusian culture in the diaspora. It became a stage and a lively discussion and thinking space for Belarusian artists and cultural workers who had to leave their homeland due to the dramatic events of the last three years in the country and are now living in exile in Berlin, Warsaw, Krakow, Vilnius or Tbilisi.

Here you will find picture highlights of the Belarus Festival, at which over 50 theatre makers, filmmakers, authors, poets, musicians, philosophers, visual artists and activists from Belarus presented a diverse interdisciplinary programme.
